024 From Braces to Bone Regrowth: Modern Spine Care in Myeloma
Sean Molloy, renown spinal surgeon at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) NHS Trust in Stanmore explains how tailored bracing, breakthrough bone healing in myeloma, physiotherapy and minimally invasive vertebroplasty can transform pain, mobility and long-term spinal stability.
📌Key Takeaways:
A brace can act like “nature’s own surgery”, guiding powerful myeloma-driven bone regrowth to prevent long-term spinal collapse.
The first 12 weeks after diagnosis are critical — the right brace and mobility plan can stop irreversible forward bending (kyphosis).
For selected patients, vertebroplasty can provide rapid pain relief, restoring function when a single fracture refuses to settle.
